Ophthalmology

In leading Turkish hospitals and eye clinics, every ophthalmological procedure is performed by experienced ophthalmologists using the latest technology and devices.

Almost all cataract surgeries are performed under drop anesthesia using the phacoemulsification technique that doesn’t require stitches. Many different complicated vitreoretinal surgeries are successfully performed including pars plana vitrectomy (to treat vision loss due to diabetes). Internal limiting membrane peeling and foveal translocation surgery for macula degeneration are also performed with great success.

Glaucoma (eye tension), cross-eye vision and retina decollement surgeries are successfully carried out using the most appropriate and technologically advanced methods.

Excimer Laser applications for the correction of myopic, astigmatic and hypermetropic vision are performed using LASIK method and drop anaesthesia.

LASIK surgeries in Turkey have been attractive for international patients for many years due to their high success rate and the fact they are very affordable when compared to Western clinics and hospitals.

In cases where the use of laser may not be appropriate, other surgical technics such as FAKO and Intacs are performed successfully.

Machine-driven and manual devices such as Auto Refractor Keratometers, air puff and applanation tonometer (for the measurement of intraocular pressure), and direct and indirect ophthalmoscopes are used to ensure precise diagnostics and the best treatment results.
